drug addict

... do you tell if someone has a prescription drug addiction? Is it similar to an illegal drug addiction? I have a loved one who I am very concerned about. They take prescription drugs for medical purposes. But they affect them the same way that illegal drugs affect others. They take 35 every day. They are a nurse.

Can someone give some advice on helping my loved one. Read ...

... by Nandy Joe: Need a suggestion on a movie about drug abusers?
Well, I’m a writer (that kind of explains my non-sense questions), and I need suggestions for a movie which retracts the reality of a drug addict. I need it to be REALLY explicit, since I don’t know any addicted, because I’m gonna have to base my descriptions of drug abuse and the addicts life on scenes I catch from movies and books I read.

Question by jej: Inpatient drug rehab in NYC/5 boroughs?
I have a friend who is ready to check into a rehab for his drug addiction, however, he is on methadone maintenance and does not want to quit it.
